It seem everything but reformatting it to ext so it only works with Linux does this so it have the drive only work with Linux or don’t use it on bazzite Linux?
Hardware Compatibility for Gaming - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
I am use a 81gb file to test it (once I found it massing up on Linux I format it over on bazzite hoping that fix it when it didn't I start to test fix I'd used in the past and trying to move the file over)
to the original question, mount options usually need to be set correctly to ensure that a drive is mounted with write permissions
How do I do that? Also thank you for the help
I am just use disk in bazzite so it formatting
you'll need to read up on
fstab stuff to figure it out. when the documentation says "unsupported" for NTFS or FAT drives, this means support won't be provided. too much can go wrong.The drive was working fine then I had to reinstall bazzite and now when I try to use it in bazzite I get it can't write to it but Linux mint fine with it?
if it's writable in one distro, it's writable in another. again, it comes down to the mount options you have set in
/etc/fstabIt started when I try to rename the drive come to thank of it and all I'm doing is move file no gaming 🙁
All I did was open disks on bazzite and change the drive name on a new install of bazzite and now it can't be read or written too the heck when on the old bazzite it was fine
because your mount options were correct before
they are not now
therefore, you need to fix your mount options in
/etc/fstab or in DisksI just found out what was wrong @termdisc I am dumb lol I slow down and paid more attention lol go to disks and try to rename something it auto go for NTFS so what it was doing was change the name yea I want that but I didn't want the NTFS part my bad I should slow down and read more lol
It 9 am I've been awake for too long lol
Well there go a day and a half I'll never get back lop
Lol
